ESPN • • sports
Key Points:
- The New Hampshire Fisher Cats, Double-A affiliate of the Toronto Blue Jays, scored 10 runs in a single inning with only one hit and no errors, a feat unprecedented in the expansion era of major league baseball.
- The Portland Sea Dogs, Eastern League affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, allowed the runs largely due to eight walks, two hit batters, four wild pitches, a sacrifice fly, and one single during the second inning.
- The unusual inning began after a snowfall delay, with cold temperatures and a series of pitching struggles from Portland's Hayden Mullins and relievers Jorge Juan and Cade Feeney.
- Despite the Fisher Cats’ offensive outburst, the game ended with New Hampshire winning 12-7 in challenging weather conditions.
- Portland Sea Dogs president Geoff Iacuessa expressed disbelief at the inning, noting it was unlike anything he had ever witnessed in professional baseball.
